親愛的醫院居民和家庭，
流感季節來臨了，在本醫院，我們知道流感疫苗對我們社區的健康和福祉有多麼重要。我們一起共同為抗擊COVID-19付出了不懈的努力。今年確保獲得健康疫苗比以往任何時候都重要。
我們可能還沒有COVID-19的疫苗，但值得慶幸的是，我們為流感做了疫苗。
我們的員工流感疫苗接種工作正在進行中，到目前為止，我們的破記錄數量創下紀錄！ 醫院受保護性隔離後，我們開始與員工一起開展流感運動，以防止員工將流感帶入我們的社區。
醫院居民流感疫苗的詳細信息
- 居民的流感疫苗將於10月13日這一周開始– CDC建議在9月和10月進行流感疫苗接種，因此醫院步入正軌。
- 我們計劃在兩週內完成所有居民疫苗接種
- 除非有禁忌之意，否則將向所有醫院居民提供流感疫苗
- 護理團隊將獲得您的同意並與您協調所有詳細信息
流感疫苗是安全有效的-接種疫苗可以保護您和周圍的人。我已經接種了疫苗，並鼓勵您從10月13日開始接種。
本醫院與加州公共衛生部合作
醫院一直在調查兩個嚴重的問題：在少數居民的系統中發現意外藥物，以及發現少數居民擁有的違禁物品，包括某些非處方藥。在整個過程中，醫院與加州公共衛生部（CDPH）共享了信息，與CDPH合作解決了關注的領域，並確定了降低居民風險的方法。作為該過程的一部分，CDPH將醫院置於“立即危險”中，以確保居民受到保護。
儘管“立即危險”表示不遵守國家法規，但本醫院一直與CDPH密切合作，我們將繼續合作調查和解決這種情況。
在被置於立即危險之中之前，我與醫院的執行領導團隊一起成立了一個居民安全工作隊。該工作隊的目標是實現一個不含處方藥和受控物質的醫院。在醫院，我們的使命是為我們的居民創造一個熱情，關愛和康復的環境。為了做到這一點，我們必須創建一個沒有處方藥或管製藥物的安全環境。
我們非常重視醫院內任何非處方藥或管製藥物的存在。我將繼續非常清楚地表明我對執行這些政策的承諾。
更新的COVID-19數字
自2020年3月我們發現第一個已知病例以來，在醫院，我們總共有91例COVID-19陽性病例。其中有27例居民病例和64例員工病例。目前，有兩個居民案件和一個職員案件。
可以上網獲取工作人員和居住案例的COVID-19儀表板LagunaHonda.org/COVID19/Chinese
請繼續保持6英尺安全距離，戴上口罩，並經常洗手至少20秒，來幫助我們對抗這種病毒。如果您對醫院對COVID-19大流行的反應或我們社區的安全與健康有任何疑問，可以與您的住院醫生聯繫。
請保持健康安全。

Dear Laguna Honda Residents and Families,
Influenza (flu) season is upon us and here at Laguna Honda Hospital (LHH) we know just how important the flu vaccine is to our community’s health and well-being. Together, we have worked tirelessly in our fight against COVID-19. Getting our flu vaccinations this year is more important than ever to ensure that we stay healthy.
We may not yet have a vaccine for COVID-19 but, thankfully, we do for the flu.
Our staff flu vaccination efforts are well underway, and we have had record breaking numbers so far! With Laguna Honda under protective quarantine, we began our flu campaign with staff to prevent staff from bringing the flu into our community.
Details on Resident Flu Vaccinations at Laguna Honda
- Flu vaccinations for residents will begin the week of October 13th – the CDC recommends flu vaccinations in September and October, so Laguna Honda is right on track.
- We plan to complete all resident vaccinations within two weeks.
- Unless contraindicated, the flu vaccine will be offered to all LHH resident
- Resident Care Teams will obtain consent and coordinate all details with you.
The flu vaccine is safe and effective—and getting vaccinated protects both you and the people around you. I already received my vaccination and I encourage you to do so starting on October 13th.
Laguna Honda Working with the California Department of Public Health
LHH has been investigating two serious issues: the discovery of unexpected medications in the system of a few residents and the discovery of prohibited items, including some non-prescribed medications, in the possession of a few residents. Throughout this process Laguna Honda has shared information with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), working with CDPH to address the areas of concern, and identifying ways to reduce the risk to residents. As part of that process, CDPH placed Laguna Honda on Immediate Jeopardy to ensure that residents are protected.
Although Immediate Jeopardy represents a designation of noncompliance with State regulations, Laguna Honda has been closely collaborating with CDPH and we will continue to work together to investigate, address, and resolve the situation.
Prior to being placed on Immediate Jeopardy, I initiated a Resident Safety Task Force alongside Laguna Honda’s executive leadership team. The goal of the Task Force is to actualize a Laguna Honda that is free of unprescribed medications and controlled substances. At Laguna Honda, our mission is to create a welcoming, caring, and healing environment for our residents. For this to be possible, we must create a safe environment free of unprescribed medications or controlled substances.
We take very seriously the presence of any unprescribed medications or controlled substances on our campus. I will continue to make abundantly clear my commitment to implementing these policies.
Updated COVID-19 Numbers
At Laguna Honda, we have had a total of 91 positive COVID-19 cases since our first known case in March 2020. There have been 27 resident cases and 64 staff cases. Currently, there are two active resident cases and one active staff case.
COVID-19 dashboards with LHH’s staff and resident case numbers are available online at LagunaHonda.org/COVID19.
Please continue to help us fight this virus by social distancing, wearing a face covering, and washing your hands frequently.
If you have any questions about LHH’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic or the safety and wellness of our community, your resident care team is available.
Please keep healthy and safe.

Michael T. Phillips, MHA, FACHE
